swollen

I am in my 60's and have only just started to have either a swollen face or, on the last two occasions, a swollen tongue, which all started in September. The first time I had a swollen tongue was 4 weeks ago and I ended up in hospital. I had already taken Piriton but it didn't help. At the hospital they gave me Prednisolone which worked very quickly and I was packed off home with another 2 days supply.

As all this was going on I was clearing my throat all the time of really thick flem and then one day my throat felt swollen, not even really sore ( LIKE MY HEAD ) but swollen. Sure enough it was sinus drainage and the glandsin my throat were swollen. I wasn't getting over a cold, and my sinuses were never stuffy, they were always clear. A dr. put me on a nasal steroid spray and slowly the pressure in my head that i had for months started to ease up.

I began to bruise easily on my skin and muscles and then got hiccups, had visual changes - floaters, static, and bright sparks, intense fatigue, swollen saliva glands and lymph nodes. Then the most apparent symptom, myoclonic jerks and muscle fasciculations, started at which point I had to leave to go back to mainland America.

its an infection in the sweat/lubrication glands....extremely common. most women find at least one, ranging from small to worrysome large, in the pubic/vaginal area from the ages of 16-30, not limited to.
keep it clean, do not pierce or pop it, use a hot rag to reduce swelling, allow time to heal. if its been a while and your still concerned, ask the doctor, it could be in need of a little extra help.
but not uncommon, most women experience it from time to time.

There's an article on yahoo about phantom vibrations in the body due to cell phone usage. Pretty relevant to this topic I think. They don't discuss any penis problems in the article, of course.

I wake every morning with horrible pain in lower back (kidney area) that radiates to the front of stomach (rib area). I have had battery of tests and found nothing. I am only able to sleep 5-6 hours before pain wakes me, also unable to take a deep breath until I get out of bed (very painful just to roll over), once I stand and get out of bed the pain almost immediately starts to ease. After about 20 minutes of walking around and after first morning void, pain disappears for remainder of day.

do the bumps on your tounge have white circles or outlines around them. Have your swollen lymph glands under your neck resolved themselves or are they still kill you. I have the same thing I've been researching this for years! I'd love to talk more about this but there's so much to say. Do u have a screen name on AIM or yahoo? I need a friend in this!

Sorry others have the same stuff I do. I just turned 41 and have had these issues forever. They start out with a little burning and itching, grow into a red lump, and will not pop like a normal pimple. Of course after washing and messing with them, they always open into a sore and there they are... the white things The sores will not heal until all the white things are pulled out (usually with tweezers).

I want to write this to people who are on here daily basis looking for help, answers, or just someone to listen to them.
About three weeks ago I woke up with two swollenglandsin my neck, and they got bigger the next day, and even bigger on the third day. Then came a very dry mouth, and my tongue started getting white, so the first thing I did was start to think hmmm "what is wrong?

and 2- how much excercise can i do right now with the swollenglandsin my neck?
I'd welcome suggestions in the Long Island NYC area, I'd prefer not to have the sort of charlatan type doctor who's primary goal is selling me vitamins...
I have one old timer who's good, and treats the symptoms such as swollen glands/antibiotics and eventually this EBV stuff calms down for a while. But he's very hard to get appoitnments with..

I have had extremely painful lymph nodes in the left part of my neck under the jaw line for about three months. I had an MRI done that showed numerous enlarged lymph nodes. I have also seen an infectious disease doctor to rule out many possible viruses.
I had thyroid cancer and had my whole thyroid removed 6 months before the pain started, so I had also been on synthroid for six months.

I am sometime still feeling like the sensation that something is falling from the inside of my head, sometimes a cold sensation. This sensation I have also felt in my neck and now I also feel my neck empty or numb. With this my neck hurts a lot. It feels like my head is heavy and wobbly and makes my neck and shoulder hurt. I also feel like my body feels heavy, like it is tired. But I can move my body well, function well; see well, do all the normal stuff. I never had a fever either.

2 weeks later was sick with chills, fever, stiff neck (self diagnosed as meningitis) which is STILL lingering around, also had short term left-sided facial paralysis (lastd about a week), eyesight seems to be getting worse by the week, muscle aches all over, 2 weeks of diarhea, and the final nail in the coffin..shooting pains in my lymph nodes in my groin, armpits AND neck! Come on now people..call me crazy, but doesn't that sound like a typical HIV infection?

Your results are similar to mine and I know a few others who have indeterminate results. Lyme is a clinical diagnosis. I have always had swollenglandsin my neck too. You should be checked for mercury toxicity, because Lyme and mercury (and other metals and toxins) work synergistically in the body. Did you have your CD-57 tested? Was it low?

If you do get dizzy, see a doctor. You may have some blockage in your carotid arteries—the ones in your neck that provide blood to your brain.
Figure out which direction you will be bending over in the shower. Preferably, it’s the side away from the shower head. Take everything out of this side of the shower, so that you don’t mistakenly grab it and fall down.

The severe swelling would eventually go away, but now a few of them in my neck seem to be permanently firm and large. My neck is no longer swollen though. I don't know the extent to which this relates to the impetigo or not. I thought I'd add the info just in case. When I decided to go to the doctor about the skin infection (I didn't know it was impetigo yet) I had all these huge crusty lesions and if I washed my face with a wash cloth they bled so bad I thought I would pass out.

The doctor looked at my throat, prescribed me some penicillin and motrin and sent me on my way. I did have some swollenglandsin my neck but recall no fever, headache, muscle pain or rashes.
I had never even considered putting these two incidents together until the other day when planing on taking my annual HIV test and thinking about the timing of the whole sore throat incident has got me worried out of my mind. I keep trying not to think about it but its hard not to.

I was running low grade fevers with chills, but they would come and go. I has swollenglandsin my neck,jaw,groin and axillary areas.Later I began having "sleep paralysis" and waking up with my whole body burning like a sunburn.Finally, I was having tachycardia and dizziness when I stood up and horrible surges of tachycardia while lying down and mt feet, thighs and knees were turning a purple color when I stood up.When I finally went to the dr he did a ton of tests.

Hi Cindy,
Sounds like you have had a bad reaction to it. You seem to have all the side effects that they talk about. I wonder if they use the same ingredients for your lipodissolve as the other centers - I've heard that they can use different things. Cindy, if you go to my other thread - you can see how much pain I went through with my 3rd treatment. I was in agony and sure whined about it. LOL.
I had slight nausea after the first treatment, but I've been lucky - no diahrea.

I'm breathing better than ever, not coughing at all, no red tongue, no swollen glands, maybe a small sinus infection, but I use sinus rinse, nasalnex and astelin occasionally. I am a smoker of 30 years and get winded trying to what I did 15 years ago these days. I'm down to about 5 cigerettes a day. I'm going through a series of steriod shots in my neck and lower back. I lost my taste and smell before that though.

Saw an ENT guy in Atltanta yesterday. My Immunologist had suggested I see him and expect to have major problems discovered with my thyroid or other gland.. The ENR looked at my labs, biopsies, etc and at my swollen glands in my neck and said, "you have EBV...you body has been fighting a huge war on it for several years."
He asked why I hadn't tried an anti-viral. He looked down my nose and throat to make sure nothing was going on. He did find I have a sinus infection.

• Nauseous, constipation, headache, stiff neck, stomach ache, spinal pain, pain on the back right side of my ribs and only when I take a deep breath, dizziness, fatigue, blurred vision, water eyes almost a feeling of having allergies, pressure in the front of my neck almost feels like I swallowed a marble that is stuck in the front of my neck, slow concentration, feeling of being dumb, comprehension is slow.

I had been told by one doctor (vascular doctor) it was okay to exercise a little and another said not to (physician)--after months of not exercising I really wanted to become more active. I have paid the price! Dull headache every day, eye twitching, pain in my neck, pounding in my ears...

They were more concerned about the humming and the heart throb is worse. I can push on the vein in my neck and it will stop. I am sitting here typing and it is loud. Ugh, no one seems to know what to do. I have checked blood pressure and it is mostly fine.

It's like right at the back of my throat, where my sinuses close when I swallow--it gets all swollen-feeling and sometimes I get a lump in my throat. I sometimes get terrible anxiety when I eat or smell raw onions and garlic, too.
I am making this list because I want to take it back to the allergist (or maybe I should go to a new one, although this one is my son's doctor and I have liked him a lot so far) and get some answers.
